Sir Gustaf Athebaldt:
<br>
How do you do, young one! My name is Gustav Athebaldt. I am a knight of 
the royal bodyguard. Although I am approaching the age of retirement, 
given the current state of affairs I fear for the future of this 
kingdom...
<br>
The future of this nation cannot be left to the caprices of kings and 
lords. Lords only seek to satisfy their own self-interest and the king 
denies his people's hardships. Should the future of our nation be left 
to the devices of such men? If you think that it doesn't matter who 
rules the country, in no time you will find yourself groaning under the 
harsh tyranny of a despot.
<br>
I believe that we must make the hard decision to take the country to war 
to avoid this.
